Reconciliation

Gilbert + Tobin is a law firm which has developed long standing relationships with Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations through the work of our Pro Bono practice.

With the launch of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in October 2008, we set in place a framework to further develop our commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We were the first Sydney law firm to have a RAP and the second nationally. Our RAP covers a number of activities including:
